Full details of what is included in each rail tour can be found on its individual holiday description.
Alternatively you can choose by the destination that you would like to visit, either by continent or country. You will then be presented with all the tours which visit the destination, whether on a single destination break or multi-centre holiday.
Holidays for Single Travellers
Many single travellers join our rail
tours because they relish the sociable group atmosphere of our
holidays. All of our (Europe) train tours can
include up to 15% of single travellers with the rest of the group
comprising of couples or groups of 2 or more friends. Solo
travellers may be particularly interested in holidays from our
Single Travellers programme because they do not incur a
supplementary cost for travelling alone. These tours also include
extra details such as welcome drinks on the first evening to give
guests the chance to meet their fellow passengers.

Europe's Heritage Railways
One of the highlights of many of our holidays to Europe and train tours is the chance to experience a journey on a heritage railway. The narrow-gauge railways of Switzerland offer unparalleled views of the country's untouched scenery by twisting around mountains and descending into lush valleys. While in the UK journeys aboard classic steam railways evoke the golden era of rail travel. Information about the railways used on each tour can be found on our website under the "Trains" section of the holiday itinerary.
